SILHILLIANS can save time, avoid a post-Christmas chore and raise vital funds for charity as part of a ‘Treecycling’ scheme.
The Hospice Charity Partnership, formed by the merger of Birmingham St Mary’s and John Taylor Hospices, will be collecting trees on January 14 and 15 and they will then be recycled into compost and biomass fuel.
Last year Treecycling raised almost £110,000 for The Hospice Charity Partnership which provides palliative and end of life care for sick people and their families.
The scheme will run across most of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Solihull.
Jess Bolton, community campaigns and digital fundraising manager at The Hospice Charity Partnership said: “We are so excited to welcome back Treecycling, our flagship campaign. Not only is it a great service, it’s also a hugely important fundraiser for us, having raised over £500,000 for palliative and end of life care.
“By booking your collection and making a donation, you will make a difference to local people living with life-limiting illness, whilst making your life easier and being kinder to the environment – what’s not to love?
“A huge thank you to all of our wonderful supporters that have or will make their Treecycling booking in 2023 – we couldn’t do what we do without you.”
